My Vibrant One

 You have received the news about your unborn baby! 

 The Doctor's reveal to you that your baby has a

medical condition

 and he or she will never live a normal life.

Your family with all their love and support listen to

"Your Story."

You are given comments such as :

You will have to quit your job.

You know this is going to be most difficult

to handle.

Your baby will live an abnormal life!

Your loved ones in their misguided compassion say,

"It's your pregnancy! Do what you think is best!"

You are given pamphlets on your child's

unhealthy state

and pamphlets on abortion.

It was a sunny, cool, and brisk morning!

You decide to take a walk around the park.

You notice the leaves falling off the trees and

the beauty of colors beginning to change!

You notice the leaves on the ground are of

different shapes, sizes, and colors!

You stoop down and begin picking up one 

of the orange leaves. You reach over to pick

up another leaf of yellow. You see in a distance

a bench covered with red leaves.

You walk over to the bench and hold the 

beautiful leaves of red!

You carefully bundle the leaves together 

on the bench.  You noticed the beauty 

 of how the different colors and shapes

blended in! Furthermore, you noticed how the red

leaves stood out the most!  When you took the

red leaves away from the bundle; it was less

vibrant!  

You thought about this and imagined for a

moment; maybe my unborn baby will be

shaped differently, appear differently, and

could even become disabled.

Then you thought some more about your

unborn baby!  Maybe he or she will be like

the red leaves that will help add beautiful color

and life to me.  Maybe he or she will help bring

me understanding of true love and bonding

of a mother and her child  .  You came to a

conclusion that taking away your child's life will

be like taking the light that was supposed to be

given! Not only to you but to the world!

Maybe having your baby is God's perfect

design for you to receive! It's as though

the red leaf stood out the most among

the other leaves and added such vibrant

color to the rest! Your unborn child in his

unknown paths; will be that vibrant beauty!

He or she will be the greatest gift from God!

Your baby will bring forth strength of courage!

The beauty of your unborn baby will allow

you to see and touch God, such as never

before! Your child may have challenges

 like the

Doctors are telling you.  But when you 

touch and embrace your child

 he or she will thrive!

You know you will have to trust 

all that you have in God.

He alone will show you and your

family his remarkable

plan for your unborn child! You make a 

decision that you will go along

with what God has in store for you and your

baby. 

You take your jacket off and lay it on

the bench. You place your gathered

 leaves gently on your jacket.

You look at the Trees of great beauty and

smile up to God ! You whisper aloud in 

saying ," The  leaves are ever so changing

and as Seasons go by so will we " and as 

you continue back to your lovely home.

You keep saying to God " I will trust

in you, my Lord; for my unborn baby

and I have a story!"  I will go with your plan!

Be with me every step of the way Lord!

You finally arrive back to your home!

You place your bundle of leaves

on top of your kitchen table.  You find a wicker

basket that use to be your grandma's.

You carefully place the different colored

leaves inside the basket.  Oh ' how they

brought such warmth and beauty in

your home!  You make a phone call

to someone whom you love in saying,

I am going to keep my baby!" Because

we together have "A Story!" He or She

is a child of God; my baby 

will be "My vibrant one!"
